Each class makes a creative themed breakfast to be sold to parents or
auctioned off during special events at the school or during parent-teacher
interviews. Be sure to select foods that can be served safely at room
temperature.
Breakfastbox Auction
Wake up
and Walk for
Breakfast
Host a walk-a-thon or a dance-a-thon that includes school and community
members. Have each participant raise funds for their participation with
all proceeds going back into the breakfast program. Include friendly
competitions between students and teachers to up the ante.
Fruit-Grams
Sell fruit-grams or fruit smoothies for special holidays at school. Students
purchase a fruit-gram and write a special note to be sent with the fruit as
a gift for their friends. On the chosen delivery day or holiday, the fruit and
special note is delivered to the students in their classroom.
Grandparents’ Day
(Family Day)
Host a breakfast for parents, grandparents, and community members for
a small cost on the weekend. The event could include other activities as
well including a silent auction and a volunteer appreciation ceremony. This
may also be a good opportunity to provide parents with information on the
breakfast program and other healthy initiatives happening at the school.
Kid's Night
Host a special night of fun and activities in the school for students after
school hours for a small fee. Students get to spend time with their friends
and socialize, and parents get a few hours to themselves. This is especially
lucrative around busy times of the year (e.g. the Holiday Season)
BRIGHT IDEAS
Get students excited about participating in the fundraiser by providing healthy prizes
for the top fundraisers. Other categories can also be added including “best sales pitch”
and “best effort”. Hold random draws for all students participating and give away extra
ballots to students who are “caught being healthy” throughout the school day.
Choose prizes that promote healthy habits, for example: a free ticket to the school dance,
first choice of equipment during recess, a special breakfast with the principal, choosing
the menu for a special breakfast in their honour, a get out of homework free card, or
extra free time to do an activity they love.
